In order to avoid falling into some deep silt pools that were not visible on the surface, he made sure to stay close to the edge of the reeds every step of the way, where solid ground could basically be guaranteed.
This makes it even more difficult to avoid arrows shot from behind.
However, he was a better archer than those chasing behind him, and he knew very well how to get rid of the pursuit of archers with less effort and more effectively in such a place.
So after running for dozens of steps, his movements slowed down and became gentler, trying not to let his body hit the reeds.
The arrows quickly became sparse.
The archers at the rear who could not determine his specific position could only shoot aimlessly. Although the sound of hissing through the air was still terrifying, it suddenly made Lin Xi feel much more relaxed.
"stop!"
However, at this moment, the green-eyed girl who had been looking at him with fire-like eyes made a sound between her teeth.
"Why?" Lin Xi frowned and stopped immediately.
"If you don't want to die, don't go any further." The green-eyed girl kept taking deep breaths, trying her best to control her mood, and gritted her teeth.
Lin Xi asked again: "Why?"
The green-eyed girl looked extremely ugly and said: "Because there is a dead end further forward, a large swamp that even cave barbarians cannot pass."
"Do you know this place?" Lin Xi frowned, "Then where should we go?"
The green-eyed girl had already made some decisions in her heart and suppressed the anger in her heart, but Lin Xi's ordinary words made her unable to control herself again, and she said angrily: "You tied me up like this, even
How can I give you directions if you can't even stretch out your hands?"
"Even if you can't stretch out your hand, you can at least speak your mind. Why do you have to be so loud..." Lin Xi suddenly grimaced.
The green-eyed girl became even more inexplicably angry, but when she heard the sudden density of arrows piercing the air around her, she still held back and said in a deep voice: "Go left!"
Lin Xi did not hesitate, tried her best to escape to the left without making a loud noise.
After a hundred steps, the sound of arrows became farther and farther away, and the chasing archers completely lost their bearings.
"Lin Xi!"
At this moment, a roar full of hatred, like a wounded beast, sounded in the water covered with reeds.
"You can't run away! I will definitely cut you to pieces to avenge my son!"
Hearing this voice, Lin Xi was slightly startled.
…
Huang Huoxiao, a native of Zetai Ling in Donglin Province, committed a fight and killed someone at the age of seventeen, and was fined for being sent to the army. He fought bravely and made many military exploits. At the age of thirty-five, he became the commander-in-chief of the Black Dragon Army, with an official rank starting from the fourth rank.
Di Choufei, a student of Xianyi College, has extremely high qualifications and is invincible. At the age of twenty-six, he became the Commander-in-Chief of the Dragon and Snake Army, with an official rank of fourth rank. He was praised by the Dragon and Snake Border Army as a result of several impossible victories in which the enemy was strong and we were outnumbered.
General star.
These two people are naturally smart people.
…
Lin Xi is also a smart person.
The voice that sounded at this time was very unfamiliar to him. It was impossible for him to tell who it was based on the voice alone. But the words "death with a thousand cuts and avenge my son" made Lin Xi immediately think of who this person was.
Who, and instantly connected many things together, thought many things clearly.
There was only one person who had such a deep hatred against him, and that person was company general Xu Ningshen.
Xu Ningshen had an affair with a Da Mang practitioner, but was exposed by him and fled.
There are at least seventy archers who have lost track of him now, and in the Dragon Snake Mountains and the Great Wasteland, only rogues use non-standard arrows.
Xu Ningshen fled to the Dragon Snake Mountains and became a rogue.
In such a war, rogue bandits can only appear here if arranged by big shots in the military.
Therefore, the person who assisted the Holy Master of Purgatory Mountain was a big shot in the Dragon and Snake Border Army, and he was a great practitioner of Infernal Affairs.
"What kind of place is Purgatory Mountain?"
The green-eyed girl suddenly asked.
Lin Xi did not stop, and continued to flee quickly in the direction pointed by the green-eyed girl, and whispered: "You don't even know what kind of place Purgatory Mountain is?...Do you know the Damang Dynasty?"
The green-eyed girl's answer was very straightforward: "I don't know."
Lin Xi was not in the mood to express disdain, and explained without any nonsense: "To the south of Yunqin is Yunqin's enemy country. Purgatory Mountain is the most powerful place for cultivation in Da Mang, with many powerful practitioners."
The green-eyed girl was silent for a long time, and then said: "Let's make a deal."
Lin Xi glanced at her and said, "What deal?"
The green-eyed girl said: "Don't stop me from meditating and practicing and recovering my soul power. I'll help you deal with these people."
"You mean to join forces?" Lin Xi nodded seriously and said, "I won't refuse, but how can I trust you? Your cultivation is far above mine."
The green-eyed girl said coldly: "Do you still want to take me back to receive the merit? You should understand that it is extremely difficult for you to get out alive..."
Lin Xi shook her head and directly interrupted the green-eyed girl: "You didn't give me a chance to talk to you in the first place. I told you that we can all have our own choices. Even if I have the ability to kill you alive,
Take you back, I may not take you back. I know you may not even know about Qingluan Academy, but I can tell you that I am different from the ordinary Yunqin generals here. I can hear that you are interested in this place now.
I happen to know the area well, and I may have some methods in my mind that have a high chance of escaping smoothly, but for me, it is also a great chance to wait for the teacher's rescue in this area. It's not like you haven't seen the strength of my teacher before.
Even in this vast wilderness, I am afraid that few people can stop him. I am not strong enough and cannot take the initiative at all... If you want to join forces with me, you must give me a convincing reason."
The green-eyed girl became angry again and said: "I'm not as shameless as you, and I won't go back on my word!"
"This reason is not valid." Lin Xi looked at the green-eyed girl, her words were a little funny, but her tone was very sincere: "I am not shameless... In fact, the teacher and the female violinist in red shirt should just protect me secretly, not what you imagine
Just like me, I want to pretend to be hypocritical and gain some of your trust. As for you, I think you need at least one reason to believe in me."
"I want to establish some relationships where we can trust each other. Even if we are enemies, it may be beneficial to this world in the future and allow many people to die needlessly." After a slight pause, Lin Xi looked at the green-eyed girl and said:
"But now, I'm afraid there's no trust between us at all. Because I understand what you said before... you still have to be responsible for the lives of many cave barbarians. Under this situation, I'm afraid you won't hesitate to do something.
Something that goes against one’s will.”
The green-eyed girl frowned deeply and said, "Then what do you want?"
After hearing these words that were obviously softening and very beneficial to her, Lin Xi thought about it with some embarrassment.
What should he do?
…
While Lin Xi was thinking about what he was going to do, Li Ku, who was recognized as the strongest practitioner by Da Mang practitioners in Da Mang, where the green-eyed girl knew nothing about, was also standing at the foot of a mountain, thinking about something.
matter.
What he has to consider is actually very simple.
There was someone on the mountain who wanted to see him, but when he reached the bottom of the mountain, he thought whether it was enough for him to come here. If the other person wanted to see him, he should come down the mountain and come to him.
Although the question is simple, his mind has never been very bright, and he rarely thinks about things other than cultivation, so for a while, he may not be able to get an answer to this question.
So he sat down on a big rock at the foot of the mountain smoothly and naturally.
The mountain is extremely high, and its peaks are in the depths of the clouds.
People in this mountain are as small as ants and invisible.
However, just when Li Ku sat down on the stone at the foot of the mountain, a huge sigh came down from the top of the mountain somewhere in the depths of the cloud: "Li Ku... I left Purgatory Mountain for you, and when I got here, you didn't even
You don’t even want to go up the mountain for me?”
The question that Li Ku was thinking about seemed to be suddenly answered. His ordinary eyebrows suddenly became cheerful and he said: "Since you can talk like this, there is no need to go up the mountain."
His face was ordinary, and his voice was ordinary, but facing the top of the mountain, it was like thousands of thunders roaring, rolling down the mountain like the voice of a god king, and the voice that made the world awe-inspiring was not inferior at all.
There was a faint sigh on the top of the mountain, seemingly helpless at Li Ku's reasoning.
The clouds on the top of the mountain suddenly opened, and a white light came down and floated towards Li Ku.
It's just an ordinary white jade cup, empty.
However, when he arrived in front of Li Ku, a cluster of flames rose from the cup, as if a volcano had risen from the ground.
Li Ku just looked at the jade cup.
His body swayed slightly, and then the jade cup flew back.
His face turned slightly pale, but the ground around him for tens of meters cracked, turned red, and then turned black again, as if it was formed by the condensation of lava.
"I know your way is power...I have the power to stop you." A loud voice from the top of the mountain then sounded.
Li Ku thought for a while and shook his head: "No, you can't."
The voice from the top of the mountain was slightly stagnant: "Why?"
"Although you are stronger than me now, you can't kill me... In ten years, you will probably die of old age... So if you stop me now, in ten years, I will kill everyone you care about." Li Ku said calmly.
Said: "Actually, in the stream by the road I saw, in addition to shrimps, there were some small snakeheaded fish and a turtle. At first, the shrimps were bigger, and they always bullied and provoked the snakeheaded fish and turtles, but then that
A few snakeheaded fish grew bigger, but they ate a lot of shrimps... At that time, I was a little worried that if all the shrimps were eaten by these snakeheaded fish, it would be impossible to jump out again. But then one year the water dried up... these snakeheaded fish
They are all dead, but the turtle has grown up year after year, feeding freely in the streams. So I understand the truth, strength... is not just the current strength, but also depends on who lives longer, and also depends on the future strength."
The people at the top of the mountain didn't speak for a long time, and finally sighed and walked down the mountain.
…
On this day, for some unknown reason, the leader of Purgatory Mountain, who had not left the mountain for decades, went to Tianming Peak, a famous mountain in Damang, to discuss the Tao with Li Ku, and finally gave up and left.
